At 10 o'clock in the morning, in a community center in Lige Village, Changsha Bay, more than a dozen women gathered around a long table, and two engineers stood in front, giving lessons to everyone like a teacher.
All explanations will be given from dust collection, key replacement, and toilet button replacement.
They picked up the glass glue in one hand and demonstrated how to replace the water-proof glue rim of the bathtub and the sink.
This is a women's home repair class for "Sisters of Free Time". The technicians of the property management company voluntarily teach women repair skills.
One of the "nuns" is the 67-year-old Huier. She once lost herself because of her family. Later, she learned that the source of a woman's sense of success does not necessarily come from the family, but can also be a lot. For example, she can learn a skill and then fix her home. Fire board.

The women sitting at the table listened attentively, and sometimes even engineers had time to explain in the future, and they couldn’t wait to rush to ask questions, "Will glass glue be so drenched?", "When would you use glass glue or Curtain glue?" Some people are concerned about the price: "The side is only flat and expensive?" The engineer's answer also came to the ground, "There are sticks in 100 mosquitoes, and it will be enough for meals!"
67-year-old retired woman becomes "nun"
The 67-year-old Huier sat in the corner of the room. She carefully copied down her notes, learning how to change locks and make dust.
The door lock of her house just broke earlier, and she was not willing to spend a few hundred yuan to ask the master to change the lock. She accidentally changed the lock by mistake, but the side door still didn't work. Now she often gets stuck opening the door.
In addition to feeling that the price is expensive, I also feel that sometimes I feel that some home repairs are trivial, I don't want to rely on others to do it, I want to rely on myself, "I know the principle, repair becomes so simple, these little knowledge of life should be understood."
The 67-year-old Huier thinks that some home repairs are trivial, and he does not want to rely on others to do it.

Hui Er lives with her youngest son, and the two of them work together to repair the damaged parts of the house, but the son often returns at night, and he can't follow the instructions when he goes outside to find a master.
I have tried that the fireproof board at home was broken, but during the epidemic, no master was willing to come to repair it. She was not frustrated. She dragged a cart to the hardware store by herself and bought the necessary repair materials. When I got to the truck, I pushed the fireproof board for 40 minutes and walked home. "I got home out of breath, but I think it's worth it. The satisfaction of success is so great.
The engineer explained all the dust, the key replacement, and even the replacement of the toilet button.

There was only a sense of family in the world, lost in learning, broadened the vision
Today, Hui is versatile. She has enrolled in a law class in a community center and participated in a women’s advocacy group. In the past, her world was only a family.
She has been a housewife for more than 20 years. It was only when her children grew up that she realized that the outside world was very big and wide. "When I first returned to social work, I was a teaching assistant in school, and I could not participate in the topics of other colleagues. I only know Minato."
Women in the world spend all day in the kitchen. If you focus too much on your own world, you will be unhappy, and you will have no sense of accomplishment after a long time, and you will lose yourself.
Benefit
Huier retired two years ago, learning maintenance is also a way for her to add value to herself.

After returning to social life, she began to pay attention to news and current affairs, participated in volunteer services in community centers, and helped other women to solve their problems. "Women are in the kitchen all day long. If you focus too much on your own world, you will be unhappy. A sense of accomplishment, you will lose yourself.” She retired two years ago, and learning maintenance has become a way to add value. “You finish the class and go home to repair yourself. The sense of success will be strong. I think everything needs to be done by yourself, woman You also have to have some skills." Hui Er blinked and said.
Aquan worked as an engineering director in Kangye for 4 years. He was infected by a colleague and joined the volunteer team two years earlier. He found that women are no worse than men in maintenance engineering skills. "Women have relatively few opportunities to learn maintenance, but women criticize them. Paint is often more attentive than men.” This is the fifth time that the "Sisters of Freedom" event, which volunteers to teach maintenance knowledge, is held. The Hong Yip Service Co., Ltd. was originally a property management company. They regularly dispatched more than ten engineers. , Once went to the North District and Changsha Bay District to teach women maintenance skills, and then went to the grassroots family together to help repair the home.
The senior district manager of Hong Yip Service Co., Ltd. said that he hopes that through the classroom, women can be self-reliant. "The company has an idea.
